When you think of knitting, what comes to mind?

Maybe you picture an elderly woman sitting in a rocking chair, clinking away on her needles to create an intricately patterned shawl. Maybe you feel a little frustrated because you’ve tried to learn knitting but gave up. Maybe you think of comforting, soft hats or mittens made with love.

At Camellia Fiber Company, we think of knitting as so much more than a craft. Sure, it’s a creative outlet, but it’s also a tool to still our minds, relax our bodies, and calm our emotions. As it turns out, we’re not the only ones who use knitting as a powerful self-care tool.
